OCUK You are miss-labelling all the GTX680 cards.....

Nvidia no longer have a shader clock. A quote from Ananadtech:

So how does GK104 change this? The single most important aspect of GK104, the thing that in turn dictates the design of everything else, is that NVIDIA has dropped the shader clock. Now the entire chip, from ROP to CUDA core, runs on the same core clock. As a consequence, rather than executing two half-warps in quick succession GK104 is built to execute a whole warp at once, and GK104’s hardware has changed dramatically as a result.

So unless you fancy shipping all of your cards with a 100% overclock I think you should half the frequencies and quote core clock. ;)
 
I think you should give ocuk a break their just awesome. At the end of the day they are just humans like us, apart from gibbo im pretty sure hes a fancy fax machine.
 
Maybe he missed it?

Also I know OCUK makes listing mistakes, but that's why we should point them out so they can correct it.
 
This is my error.
When I tested the first card and still to this day GPU-Z reported a shader speed of double that of the core speed, hence the reason it's there. When I questioned nvidia a straight answer was not forthcoming. Anyway it's a simple fix and something I shall do later, so thanks guys. :)

Please leave your message after the beep:D
 
Not trying to cause extra work but maybe an idea (small amount of work) to add a button to the template for report error / extra information which takes:

forum username:
comment:
reference:

... and send email to person who added the product to the catalog for follow up :D
 
You can report errors in product descriptions using the Customer Service section of the forum where it will be seen by OcUK staff.

I've done this several times in the past and usually the product description has been fixed.

The biggest error I reported was an error in the product description of most ATI/AMD 6xxx series cards.

5UB had the descriptions corrected.

By posting in the hardware section of the forum it's less likely to be picked up.
 
I'm pretty sure they still have shader clock speeds, mine reports one etc.
Rumours said they weren't hotclocking, some sites said they weren't hotclocking, but when you use a monitoring program, you see hot clocking.

The monitoring program was lying. If the GTX680 had 3x the number of cuda cores than a GTX 580 and they were clocked @ 133% of the GTX 580, the card would be 4x the speed of a GTX580. ;)

Anyway, it's good that it's going to be corrected, one of the reasons people buy from OCuk is because of the technical knowledge of the staff and forums users. :cool:
 
To be honest, technical knowledge of staff is agiven with any speciality store! It's not something unique to OcUK!

Yes it is!

At OcUK we test and review the kit we sell and are always looking for solutions to problems. This is very unique to OcUK most other big stores are literally just box shifters.

We test kit, review kit, over clock kit and resolve issues and put the information on our forums to try and help others. :)

Pffftt, c'mon gibbo, don't expect us to believe OcUK is so unique!

No doubt about it, ocuks staff are friendly etc, but every single major entailer has people with technical knowledge.

I work in a fairly common second hand shop and I take a lot of pride in being able to review most of the products in the shop. Except digital SLRs. Still don't have a clue about that.

It's a hard job having to test out all the new bits of kit, eh? :D

I found a Nokia N9 (quite rare in the UK) in our shop a while ago and had to spend about 20 paid minutes standing there messing around with it. Opps! ^_^

OK then so which other etailor shows you benchmarks of 7970 / 680 before launch. Shows you their OC ability before and on launch then?

Which other etailor sets up 3 120Hz monitors in eye infinity, discovers an issue with 120Hz due to drunkenmeister here saying to check it so we do, we then buy in kit to see if it resolves the issue and test that kit, then post the results and the fix to the issue.
It is this which makes OcUK different, we give you guys info before anyone else, 7970 over clocking and benchmarks, our results were out before any review. We were the first company to list and get 4GB 680's on the way. In my opinion this and the above makes us different.

How about the Samsung 1600MHz let me remind you no other UK etailor tried to source this memory or if they did then they clearly failed. Yet we found it and then went that bit further again and tested it. Then we posted our results and now many are enjoying a £50 memory kit which performs like the £100+ kits.

If OcUK was just like the rainforest company, the e buyers and several of the others who do none of the above.

So sorry i find it rather annoying when you say OcUK is no different, yes all companies have technical staff, but other companies don't go out of their way to bring you cool exciting info, test, overclock and review products as per the above.
